If it's too full the crankshaft will "beat" the oil and make it froth,
the pump can't pump frothed oil so your engine wil be running on
nothing.It will damge the bearings. Check the dipstick, if its too full, you need to drain some the same way you would change it.

To much oil builds up pressure and could blow gaskets,and also could get into the cylinder walls. If you haven't driven it to hard you may be ok,drain the oil and refill to proper level,change oil filter and clean up excess oil.

The oil filter has a rubber gasket attached to the end that comes in contact with the filter housing on the engine. If the filter was screwed on with a dry gasket, or overtightened, the gasket could be damaged and leaking. It could be the filter is not tightened enough.

the long answer is...put engine flush in oil, run for about 1 hour,switch off/remove key,then remove splash guard from under the engine (best done when car on ramps)then remove oil filler cap and drain plug on sump(oil pan).whilst draining into an empty can with the side cut out(drip tray) locate oil filter and punch a hole in the side of it with a screwdriver,and unscrew it.
Wipe oil onto the rubber seal of the new filter and screw onto carrier.hand tight only.
then replace sump plug washer(copper/fibre)and replace using a 6"long ring spanner and do up tight.
(max pressure of palm of hand)
put in about the same amount of oil that came out,replace oil filler cap and start engine.
check for any leaks,replace splash guard and lower car to level surface,turn off engine,leave for 60 secs,then dip for oil level and top up to midway on dipstick,
job done....
use 10/40 semi synthetic oil.

IF YOU DON,T KNOW WHERE THE OIL&AIR FILTER ARE.IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR YOU TO TAKE THE CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND GET THE WORK DONE THERE PLUS REPLACE THE OIL.WILL NOT COST MUCH.(GET A PRICE FIRST)..JUST KEEP BACK FROM AUDI DEALERSHIP GARAGES COST TO MUCH MONEY..
